On it already sir.
Hi team, thanks again for the follow-up and guidance.
To clarify, Milestone 1 is focused on setup and readiness. This includes acquiring essential content creation tools such as:
A high-performance laptop
Subscriptions (Freepik Premium, Canva Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Notion, X Premium+)
Router + Internet plan
However, as part of this setup milestone, I committed to initiate content activation immediately after funding, starting with:
1 visual thread introducing the Sandbox DAO
1 detailed article published on Medium ( Understanding SIP Voting: Empowering The Sandbox DAO Community | by Victoran | Jun, 2025 | Medium)
1 meme for community engagement and cultural bonding
Content will be shared across:
My X profile @vicwritesall
Sandbox DAO Discord (under community/content)
Sandbox DAO Forum (public milestone thread)
To ensure transparency, I’ve also set up a Notion workspace to track all content deliverables and milestones, which you can explore here:
Sandbox DAO Content Delivery & Milestone Tracker – by @vicwritesall
Also important to mention:
My laptop was stolen in my school hostel, which is why I’m applying for this grant to replace it and resume content production at full capacity.
Once Milestone 1 is approved, I will immediately proceed to complete and publish the visual thread and meme to finalize Milestone 1 delivery.
Thank you again for the support and understanding. I’m ready to deliver value to the Sandbox DAO ecosystem.

Milestones are meant to be approved after you have delivered the deliverables
If you’re unable to deliver on Milestone 1 because you need payment beforehand, like to buy your laptop, then I’ll need you to propose a new Milestone 1 with deliverables that you can deliver now, and then your existing milestone 1 will become Milestone 2.
The screenshots you provided are of payment plans and sign up links. I’m going to need something more concrete, like a laptop in your cart and the draft medium articles and parts you want to buy. You seem to have access to a computer in order to reply like you are.

I will seek for a friends assistant to use his laptop for the thread graphics and publish it.
For the article, it’s already published which I added the screenshot and link for Access.
Will this two be okay for the deliverables?

It might be, propose a new Milestone 1 please of what you can deliver to show your progress toward the grant. If you already published a medium article, then link that to me in here, and give me a screenshot of the laptop and the other material that you want to buy and their price tags, and anything else that you can accomplish now before you obtain the laptop and the material you need to make your content.
Your existing Milestone 1 will become Milestone 2 and then we can pay you for doing the work and your new Milestone 1
Is that something you think you can accomplish?
